Softlite Chop Stick Softboard The Softlite Chop Stick Softboard is a perfect board for Beginners. It’s a Softboard with a foam outer so softens the bumps you get learning to surf. It features a shape with fuller nose and width. So you get all the benefits of easy paddling, easy wave catching and easy getting to your feet. It surfs so well even experienced surfers use it to charge, trimming and doing nose rides. The tail is drawn in. So as you progress you can step back for carving turns. Softlite boards have great construction. The Chop Stick is moulded so the integrity of the shape and performance is carried through to all boards. The mould process greatly increases the strength of the outer skin making the Softlite Chopstick much more durable than other Softboards surfboards. Fun & Durable The strength of the Softlite Chop Stick Softboard is especially important for a Beginner. While surfing close to shore they often get dumped in heavy shore breaks. Board strength is also greatly increased with an internal bamboo stringer reinforced with expoxy and fibreglass. This prevents damage from dumping waves and helps the shape remain true. In the case of a ding the EPS core is 100% waterproof so your board won’t take on water. The Bones and Shanks Fin System makes it easy to install and remove fins. As you progress you can also upgrade your fins. This is important as by swapping the fins from soft to stiffer fins you’ll greatly improve your performance on the board. The Softlite Chopstick is a great Beginner and all round fun board.
